Pros

Great place to start a career, a lot of development programs, got education paid for, training for PM certification and other courses was available. HOwever, I had the right management support to get all of this accomplished. Not many people were as lucky.

Cons

It's hard to get a promotion, they only "promote" you; when you have been doing the work of 2 people for 2 years straight. Manament is changing constantly and performance reviews are unfair and given by a manager who you do not directly report to. There is no 360 performance review, management needs to be leaned out. Keep the competent people, and get rid of the excess, i.e., management. Training is hard to come by unless you add it to your Professional training plan early in the year; but there are always "budget" issues, and training is hard to come by as you advance on your career.

Pros

So many cool projects, so little time! Honest, if you can find a good manager who can keep you in charge numbers for projects that interest you, you will never be bored. And it's not all missiles and airplanes and shoot-em-out-of-the-sky stuff. You can hold your head high no matter what your politics are. You can be as intellectually challenged as you want to be.

Cons

After a while the paperwork/time accounting starts to get to you. And lately it's getting harder and harder to find the magic charge numbers to justify your existence. Did I mention ethics training? The buildings (in the Bay Area, anyway) are drab and the people dress to match them! Women are few and far between, BTW. But on the flip side, the're wicked smaht :-)
